DUP Picks Architect For Carriage House Selection of an architect for the new Saramarie J. Van Dyke Memorial, a carriage house to contain valuable, historic vehicular relics dating back to pioneer days in Utah, was announced today. Ehlers & Gygi Architects, Inc., 3333-9th East, was selected to design the building under an architectural agreement with the State Building Board, The firm was recommended by Mrs. Kate B. Carter, president, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, and the DUP Central Company Board. $150,000 J.G. King, assistant director of the building board, estimated the building will cost $150,000, including the architect’s fee. It will take three to four months for preparation of drawings and specifications, after which bids will be advertised. One piece of property, located at 336 N. Main St., has been purchased by the state for $18,859 with DUP funds. Another parcel, about twice the size as the Main Street site and located at 345 Columbus St., has been appraised and will be purchased soon, said Jay Croxford, administrative assistant to the building board. DUP RAISING FUNDS In outlying plans for the new two-level building, Mrs. Carter also appealed for public support in raising funds to replenish $50,000 used to buy the land. These funds must be replaced, she said, so that the building can be equipped for exhibits. She said a fund raising effort is already under way among some 30,000 DUP members across the nation, who have been asked to contribute $2 each. "We have to raise at least $50,000," she said. The Carriage House, made possible through $150,000 willed to the DUP from the estate of the late Mrs. Van Dyke, a former DUP member, will be a "won-derful addition to the Pioneer Memorial Museum," Mrs. Carter said. The facility will serve in preserving and displaying "the precious old vehicles entrusted to our care." HISTORIC WAGON Included in the display once the building is completed, probably by mid-1972, will be a wagon in which Brigham Young arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847; an old horse-drawn fire engine dating back to the 1880s and now kept at Liberty Park; two handcarts used by handcart pioneers; a stage used for trips to Yellowstone Park, a freight wagon used by John¬ston's Army in the mid-1800s and gates that led to the See DUP on Page B-4 Continued from Page B-1. Brigham Young Farm, to the Lion House, Beehive House, the old Church tithing office, and old gates on which signs are printed. Other items to be housed in the new facility include the Brigham Young farm bell, ox yokes, a case filled with bridles and harnesses, farm¬ing implements, a mule drawn street car, an old pow¬der magazine once used by the Utah Militia in keeping Johnston's Army from enter¬ing the Salt Lake Valley and the Eagle Gate gates. "We have had to turn down several collections, including one collection of mining tools, because we just haven't had enough room to display them," Mrs. Carter said. The present museum recently entered on its register book of relics item number 11,117. “We’re hoping people and groups will join with us in raising the funds for a building in the tribute to the pioneers,” Mrs. Carter added.
